Yeah GoldZilla I'm thinking the bottom one would have been best in that case

but actually - the main problem was probably just the long shutter speed...

also try turning on auto ISO maybe

reason i say this:

you were on aperture priority mode - and you had it open all the way - which is good.

but because you had the ISO fixed to 100 it means the camera has to leave the shutter open for so long

generally when using a tripod or shooting in bright light the lower the ISO the less noise you have in a shot

BUT no use having ISO so low that you get blur

:thumbsup:

aperture - how big the lens is open

shutter speed - how long the shutter stays open

ISO - how sensitive the sensor is

ps you can take awesome shots using auto/program modes :P

Zennon - nice pics dude :( I like the star trails.. I miss doing them..

Passive - Just thought i let you know that you dont need a tripod to take pics of the moon. Off-course if you have a telescope its going to be hard to hand held it, but for a lens up to say 200mm is just fine hand held. Also i see your exposure is 1 second; hense why its blury. The moon is the brightest thing in our sky at night so there really isnt a need for long exposure.

Here is a photo hand held at 200mm and shutter speed at 1/250th of a second from memory.

I understand you need a zoom lens to see this much detail, but just thought i let you know that if you taking a pic of just the moon then you dont need such a long exposure and hand held is do-able.

Love the penguin photo!! Got any more?

Yeah originally we had a crazy long exposure because, to be honest, i'd only JUST figured out how to set it. We started off with photos that looked like the day time. But the one i posted had the kind of affect i wanted, the moon really wasnt that bright at the time :P

Though we tried to get rid of the extreme glow, it'd either be too bright or too dark.

I was trying to do something like this guy has. Under tip #4 -planning and patience

had two 580exII's fired from pocket wizards. just trying to experiment where to put the lights to get certain effects and light the subject certain ways. the duck just wandered over to us so i just pointed one flash down and took a pic lol. i found it a bit hard using the 70-200 but my 24-70 rocks up this week so i hope to get out and do some more experimenting

self portrait. trying out stuff with the flash again. this time going into manual mode and setting things myself.

16-35 f2.8 @35mm F4 about 15cm from my face.

580exII with a 1/2 CTO Gel set at 1/32 @105mm - this was placed a slightly left of the camera and back another 10cm shooting straight at me (no diffuser or umbrella)

i think next time id probably shoot at about f8 to bring more detail to the entire face. but im happy for my first self portrait!

oh and a randomly snapped one of my dog Jack. just had held the flash and camera to see what i could get! still using the CTO gel

How much was the new flash?

I wish i had time to screw around with my camera :banana:

The only photos i ever post are ones from holidays etc, not just seeing what its capable of...then again, i might be getting a new LENS for christmas...so i'll prob play with that a lot.

The top pic is cool (A31cefiro)

the power lines (IMO) ruin the bottom one

I took these late on Saturday night, so it was right at the end of October...

I made myself a little photo "studio" with two pieces of wood that were covered in some dodgy white vinyl, and used two sheets of A4 paper to make the join more seamless. I think I'll need to replace this with some thin white A3 cardboard instead.

Anyway, here are the photos I took:

    • Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!
    • To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules
    • So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket
    • As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year. 
    • I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
